Looking for an Engelmann Spruce

春のカナダ。
ロッキーの森をバックパッキング。
目的はただ一つ、「大きな木の下で眠りたい」

木を探しながらきままに歩く。


Picea engelmannii (Engelmann Spruce)
is a species of spruce native to western North America, from central British Columbia and southwest Alberta, southwest to northern California and southeast to Arizona and New Mexico; there are also two isolated populations in northern Mexico. It is mostly a high altitude mountain tree, growing at 900-3650 m altitude, rarely lower in the northwest of the range; in many areas it reaches the alpine tree line.
